10 Ways to Serve a Vanilla Cupcake

We are big fans of a good vanilla cupcake around these parts. However, sometimes we want to change it up and make our cupcake a little fancier. That doesn’t necessarily mean I want to bake a much more complicated recipe, it just means I want to add a little something extra to the one I already have. That is when I turn to my stash of ways to “doctor” up a cupcake. Sometimes it means stuffing it with some cookie dough. Other times it means adding chocolate chips or some kind of amazing frosting. Whatever the way, here are ten ways to doctor up and serve a delicious vanilla cupcake in your house this year!
